1. open up a new document, CTRL+N, choose a good size canvas so it's easier to work with.

2- using the circle shape tool, select a blue-ish color, i chose #44347C. it kind of resembles Conan's logo color. with the circle shape, draw out an oval shape.

3. right click on that layer in the lower right and select the BLENDING OPTIONS

4. a) select STROKE, make the color WHITE, and give it a stroke of 10px.

b) with the blending option window still open, select the drop shadow and a inner shadow. you can view my settings for these blending options in the screen shot.

5. a) duplicate that circle layer by right clicking on the circle layer, then select DUPLICATE.

b) on this second layer, press CTRL+T, and it will place a box around the circle that you can resize. just make it smaller so it fits within the larger circle.
